Know of a half decent FREE Defragger for WinXP?

[DragonMasterAlex]

I'm building a fully unattended CD for WinXP and trying to keep as many of the apps as possible to a freeware state of affairs. You know, so I can pass the CD to friends and family, have them buy an XP Pro license at Newegg for $130 and call it pretty good. Anyway, I have found all *kinds* of cool free stuff to replace commercial software, and all of it integrates very well into my unattended install. However, I have not been able to find a Defrag tool to replace the integrated crappy one.

I have found the freeware version of O&O defrag, but as far as I can tell it doesn't have any kind of unattended install switches, and I don't really want to repackage it.

Any suggestions would be great!

Personally, I would NEVER use free system-altering software. Who knows what kind of havoc badly written code could wreak on your system.

Win 2K/XP uses the lite "custom" version of Diskeeper, and here's a more updated version absolutely free of charge and works like a champ.

Coolness, thanks! I didn't realize they had updated it. I still think the inbuilt version SUCKS though, especially as compared to commercial products. In any case, I will give it a shot! Thanks for the link!

The built-in defragger does not suck, it does what any defragger does. Don't know why you'd think it sucks.

Yeah, what's wrong with it? Seriously? I'd really like to know, because I've been using it all along.

Me too! Does better defragmenting do something? Is there a quality associated with defragmenting?
